If you want the mls to improve it needs to be a international league. A good majority of fans a are non white americans to begin with. If you ask me the MlS needs to have the best players from all over the Americas instead of giving David Beckham more then every player in the league combined. That is bad business and just plain dumb. The MlS still dosent know how to target its real audiance. Which is not based upon rich soccer moms in the suburbs

“The American league too is improving but that is because of the large number latin american players not the American footballers whose quality is barely conference level.”

Yup my fear entirely. I am a national team person first club football second and I can say without a doubt that the influx of latin players is going to hurt the US National Team. Certainly MLS has improved thanks to them and the league now as Michael aptly put in his initial post has teams that could fight to avoid relegation in Europe’s big leagues. But like the Premier League that’s entirely down to foreign players and is not a trend as a proud American I wish to see continued. I like the idea of seeing 3-5 foreigners per team, but now you can have 8 non green card foreigners per team plus those with green cards and other exemptions your looking at some teams with over half their players being foreigners and that is not the spirit under which MLS was formed.

If you notice, this article is about the leagues in EUROPE. I didn’t mention the A-League in Australia once.

Italy is most certainly first tier.

Greece should go up? Why?

The A-League in Australia is under rated.

The American league too is improving but that is because of the large number latin american players not the American footballers whose quality is barely conference level.
